Fish somewhat. Meat not very much. Still, it's a start.

It is too easy to buy some thing from California and sell it here in SC under "Fresh produce"...not that there is anything wrong with California produce, obviously I am very envious of your display! Anywhooo....keep those posts coming because they keep fueling my desire to come visit your beautiful region!

I was telling you about the cranberries I got in my CSA- they are Canneberges and it says from San Fran. Happy Turkey Day! Hi Anita, great seeing you last weekend!

Your Rainbow Co-op sounds like a great place. In Santa Rosa, we have a great health food store called Community, and I've gotten so spoiled by seeing the origin of the food they sell and the farm growing it, that I often feel lost and frustrated at other places I have to shop who don't. I'm so glad you are highlighting your local resources. Gives me a good excuse to do the same in my area. I'm REALLY glad to hear that Whole Foods has made such a commitment. There was a big stink in Santa Rosa when they took over the local health food store and began selling foods from all over the world, when the same thing was being grown in their own back yard. The community protested, and they made an exception for us. Glad to know they've gotten on the band wagon at a corporate level. Thanks! It’s so great you have taken this challenge to heart.

That's a cool new development.
